Today I sit down with my good friend Dr. Casey Means. We are discussing all things metabolic health, the state of health care, and GOOD ENERGY!

About Good Energy:

What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause?

The truth is, they do. And our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions - and feel incredible NOW - is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function: the way we make energy in our cells and bodies. The ability to make good energy in our bodies is the most important and least understood factor in our overall health, and the biggest blindspot in healthcare.

About Dr. Casey:
